1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveUnmethylated cytosine-phosphorothioate-guanine oligodeoxynucleotide, a synthetic oligodeoxynucleotide, has been used as an adjuvant in clinic and in the antitumor activity. However, the antitumor mechanism of cytosine-phosphorothioate-guanine oligodeoxynucleotide against human bladder cancer is unknown. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the cytotoxicity and molecular mechanism of anticancer effect of cytosine-phosphorothioate-guanine oligodeoxynucleotide on T24 cells (a human bladder cancer cell line).

methodsThe cytotoxic activity of cytosine-phosphorothioate-guanine oligodeoxynucleotide was examined by cell viability assay in the presence and absence of 5-fluorouracil, respectively. Apoptosis and cell-cycle phase distribution were detected by flow cytometry analysis. To investigate the molecular mechanisms of cytosine-phosphorothioate-guanine oligodeoxynucleotide cytotoxicity, the expression of antiapoptotic factors (B-cell lymphoma-2 and Survivin, β-actin as control) in RNA, and protein level was assayed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and automated capillary Western blot.

resultsThe inhibition ratio of T24 cells treated with both cytosine-phosphorothioate-guanine oligodeoxynucleotide and 5-fluorouracil was higher than those treated with either cytosine-phosphorothioate-guanine oligodeoxynucleotide or 5-fluorouracil alone. In the combination group (cytosine-phosphorothioate-guanine oligodeoxynucleotide and 5-fluorouracil), the apoptosis rate was significantly increased, and more cells were arrested at "S" and "G2/M" phases compared to those in cytosine-phosphorothioate-guanine oligodeoxynucleotide or 5-fluorouracil alone. Furthermore, the expression of antiapoptotic factors was decreased by cytosine-phosphorothioate-guanine oligodeoxynucleotide alone or combined with 5-fluorouracil.

conclusionCytosine-phosphorothioate-guanine oligodeoxynucleotide promoted apoptosis and enhanced the chemosensitivity of 5-fluorouracil in T24 cells. Cytosine-phosphorothioate-guanine oligodeoxynucleotide downregulated the expression of antiapoptotic factors and inhibited cell-cycle phase by arresting more cells at "S" and "G2/M" phases. This study indicated the potential ability of cytosine-phosphorothioate-guanine oligodeoxynucleotide as a candidate drug for human bladder cancer.
